BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 15, 1907.

Application tiled July 7,1906. Serial No. 325,098.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, CLARENCE B. WILTSE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Kisco, in the county of Westchester, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Botbeen emptied, it cannot be re-iilled, especial attention being paid to the provision of means for preventing the.

introduction of any implement into the bottle to unseat the valve thereof in an attempt to re-iill the bottle.

It'is to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the exact details ofconstru'ction shown and described, for obvious modi iications will occur' to person skilled in the art. Y I.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification and in lwhich like Inumerals of 'reference 'indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure l is a vertical' section of the present bottle, showing the valve mechanism thereof, `the lower portion of the bottle being broken away. Fig, 2 is a topplan view of the guard. Fig. 3 is an elevational view of the guard, showing the lower passages. Fig. 4 isa view taken at right angles to Fig. 3, showing the upper passages. Fig. 5 is a sectional view showing the position of the parts as the bottle is emptied.

Referring now-to the drawings, the present' bottle has a neck 5 which isenlarged between its ends, to

form a valve chamber 6, the lunion of this chamber with Ythe lower portion of the neck forming a shoulder.

which acts as a valve seat 7. A ball valve 8 is located in the. chamber and is oi a size to rest upon the seat 7, to close the lower portion of the neck, and this valve has a -depending stem 9, provided with a weight l0 which lies Within the body of'the bottle and is thus arranged to hold the valve 8 upon its seat when the bottleisturned into horizontal position. The valve 8 has its upper face flattened as at 8.

A cylindrical guard ll is engaged in the neck above' the valve chamber and has a circumscribing groovej'12 adjacent to its lower end which registers`A with a horizontal circular groove 13 formed inthe inner surface of the neck, for the reception of an expansible retaining washer 14.

vposition of Fig. 1.

flattened portion 8 will rest wholly upon the flattened Longitudinal passages l5 are formed in the guard at diametrically opposite points, opening through the bottomof ,the guard and terminating short oi the upper end thereof, and similar diametiically opposite passages lGeXtend downwardly from the top of the guard and terminate short oi` its bottom, thepassages I6 being offset half way around thev guard from the passages l5, to bring them midway between the latter. The passages I5 extend above the lower end of the passages I6, as shown, and diagonal passages I7 connect the in ner end of each longitudinal passage. with the adjacent passages, so that there is formed a continuous passage around the guard, and offset vertical passages communicating with the continuous passage and wi th the ends of the' guard. l

It willbe' understood that, when the bottle is tilted sufficiently to iin-seat the valve 8, liquid will pass from the b'ottle and through the several communicating passages of the guard beyond the latter.' When the' fulcrurh for permitting the valve to move to its limitaway from the seat at one side thereof, and to consequently increasethe size of the liquid discharge opening between said valves and seat.. The saine result is obtained when the bottle is wholly reversed fromA the In this last named position, the

underneath surface of the guard. What is claimed is: i

The combination with a bottle huving'- a valve seat in `its neck, andan enlarged portionabove the seat, of a hall shaped valve on said seat and of less diameter than said.: enlarged portion, said v alvehaving a depending portioncarrying a weight, and a guard arranged at Ythe upper end ofsaid enlarged portion, and having passages llcut into the sides thereof, said guard having a fiat underneath surface, said valve having a flattened upper surface deits edge portion.

In `testimony whereof, I aix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
